If you have not had the opportunity to visit the two in San Juan, and have the time, they are worth the time for their views and of course the history and all that. Also, in San Juan you can jump on and off the trams to see parts of Old San Juan as well. The one on St. Kitts has just a very breathtaking view from there and the ride to the top is not for the faint of heart. We did that one quite a time ago but did enjoy it and one also gets to see some of the island on the way to and from the ship.

We will be going to both islands in a couple weeks. We like the railway excursion in St. Kitts. We have done it three times! Last year we decided to go to the fort and enjoyed it very much, too. There are some steep steps to climb, but we survived!

We are going to the forts in San Juan. We have seen them before; but, like Peter said, they are very interesting and historic. Plus, you can see them from the ship, which kind of "draws" you to them!
